LT3580 Boost/Inverting DC/DC Converter with 2A Switch, Soft-Start, and Synchronization FEATURESDESCRIPTION n 2A Internal Power Switch The LT®3580 is a PWM DC/DC converter containing an n Adjustable Switching Frequency internal 2A, 42V switch. The LT3580 can be configured n Single Feedback Resistor Sets VOUT as either a boost, SEPIC or inverting converter. Capable n Synchronizable to External Clock of generating 12V at 550mA or –12V at 350mA from a n High Gain SHDN Pin Accepts Slowly Varying 5V input, the LT3580 is ideal for many local power supply Input Signals designs. n Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 32V The LT3580 has an adjustable oscillator, set by a resistor n Low VCESAT Switch: 300mV at 1.5A (Typical) from the RT pin to ground. Additionally, the LT3580 can n Integrated Soft-Start Function be synchronized to an external clock. The free running or n Easily Configurable as a Boost or Inverting Converter synchronized switching frequency range of the part can n User Configurable Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) be set between 200kHz and 2.5MHz. n Tiny 8-Lead 3mm × 3mm DFN and 8-Lead MSOP Packages The LT3580 also features innovative SHDN pin circuitry that allows for slowly varying input signals and an adjust- able undervoltage lockout function. APPLICATIONS Additional features such as frequency foldback and n VFD Bias Supplies soft-start are integrated. The LT3580 is available in tiny n TFT-LCD Bias Supplies 3mm × 3mm 8-lead DFN and 8-lead MSOP packages. n GPS Receivers L n , LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear DSL Modems Technology Corporation.
